Niagara Falls Day 2
Originally published at more questions than answers. Please leave any comments there.
· Sleep in until noon.
· At 12:15 finally get Jenna out of bed.
· Shower, get dressed, etc, and head out for the day!
· Take more pictures of the falls during the day.
· Stop to get a snack at Table Rock. Pizza Pizza, not to be confused with Little Caesers (which they also have here in Canada), is supposedly Ontario’s best pizza. Though this claim can not be validated since this is the ONLY pizza we’ve ever had from Ontario, it was quite delicious.
· Jenna hear’s her first “eh” while waiting in line for pizza. She is excited beyond all belief.
· Get in line for Journey Behind the falls. Wait in line. Pay for tickets. And then this…
Ticket Seller: Enjoy the falls!
John: You too!
· Jenna promptly points out what I just said and promises to make sure it’s well documented.
· We take our “homecoming” photo in front of a green screen before getting on an elevator to take us down into falls.
· Take a look through two portals located directly behind the falls. Not much to see, just falling water through a large hole.
· Final stop before ascending to the surface is the upper observation just a few meters away from the side of the falls. It made for some sweet photos.
· Spend the next several hours walking down the river towards Rainbow bridge. Several souvenir shops, the Hershey’s store, some actual souvenir shopping, and a whole lot of walking around some of the shadier tourist areas finally led us to Hooters.
· Sitting behind us were too very regular Canadian’s. Jenna had the privilege of eavesdropping on their extremely Canadian accents. More authentic “ehs” could be heard. Our trip could have ended right there and she would have been happy.
· A stop at the hotel to get off our feet and to drop off our purchases was much in need.
· To wrap up the evening we decided on some Applebee’s desert. Jenna ordered the apple chimicheesecake and I ordered the Holiday Bread Pudding. Both were as delicious as they could ever be. Oh, did I mention Jenna ordered a Long Island Iced Tea? She was after all only legal for 12 more hours.
· A quick stop back at the 24 hour souvenir shop and Jenna had herself a nice Canadian Hoody.
· Before heading home and retiring for the evening we had one more stop. The Fallsview Casino and Resort! Not having any idea what we were supposed to do we walked around the casino for a few minutes before cashing in our $5 USD bills for some Loonies. Now we had to figure out what do with the slot machines. Eventually we sat down at some nickel slots complete with handles and had at it. Long story short Jenna and I lost our $5. BUT we did walk out with some sweet change cups! Thanks to the nice gentleman cleaning the casino who was nice enough to ask if we could indeed walk out with them.
